Aeroponics can be used to grow broccoli and cauliflower
sprouts faster and more inexpensively than traditional methods.

AP Washington release 9/16/97:"Broccoli Sprouts are loaded with a concentrated
form of sulforaphanes, a powerful cancer fighter", say researchers at Johns
Hopkins University. "Studies have shown that eating 2 pounds of broccoli
a week - an unappetizing thought to many people - can provide enough sulforaphanes
to lower colon cancer risk by half. Earlier studies showed that sulforaphanes,
found in broccoli, cauliflower and some other vegetables, prompts the body
to make an enzyme that prevents tumors from forming. A 1994 study indicated
that cancer development was reduced by 60 percent to 80 percent in laboratory
animals fed sulforaphanes extracted from broccoli."Aeroponic
Broccoli Germination:

Broccoli normally takes 10 days to germinate. Using Aeroponics the germination
turn-around time is 3 to 6 days!
